Enjoy a relaxed day exploring the highlights of Northumberland’s coast, combining beautiful gardens, fresh sea air, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
We begin with a visit to Alnwick Garden, to wander and enjoy lunch, before heading to the coastal village of Seahouses. From here, a boat trip takes us to Inner Farne, where you’ll experience seabirds like puffins and Arctic terns up close. We finish the day with a classic fish and chips teatime before returning in the evening, full of fresh air and memorable moments.
